Irving High class of 1981 gave back by helping Irving Cares

The Irving High School Class of 1981 held its 30th reunion last year. The organizers of the gathering decided to include some philanthropy in their festivities. The class donated a portion of proceeds from the reunion’s commemorative DVD to Irving Cares.

Along with donations from several alumni, the group ended up donating more than $10,000 to the nonprofit, which provides assistance to needy families.

Irving Cares staffers said they appreciated the alumni’s generosity and they hope the class can donate again and that other classes will do likewise. The agency reports the need is even greater this year. Last year, the average number of families served per day was 32. This year, it’s about 50 families seeking food items per day.
